A prominent Las Vegas defense attorney and former prosecutor was arrested Monday on charges including solicitation to commit murder and sex trafficking, court records show.

Prosecutors accused Gary Guymon, who attended law school at Brigham Young University and has been a member of the Nevada bar since 1989, of solicitation to commit murder, conspiracy to commit murder, sex trafficking of an adult, perjury, coercion with force or threat of force, three counts of bribing or intimidating a witness to influence testimony and three counts of pandering, court records show.

Guymon, 62, appeared in Clark County Detention Center records on Monday morning.

Defense attorneys Louis Palazzo and Craig Hendricks said they were representing Guymon, but declined to comment on Monday.

This controversy is not Guymon’s first.
